Yandex Maps has added travel-focused features for tourists visiting Turkey, including location sharing, indoor navigation and voice guidance for public transport.
Users can share their location with selected people for a set period or indefinitely. The app shows where a person is and builds a route to them, making it easier for travel companions to meet.
Indoor navigation is now available at the airports of Istanbul, Antalya, Ankara and Izmir, as well as at several large shopping centers. It can guide users to exits, check-in desks, baggage-claim areas, shops and cafés.
For public transport trips, Yandex Maps provides voice directions, transfer alerts and notifications for the required stop. It also displays schedules. In Istanbul, the service accounts for new sections of the M11 metro line and shows fares.
